Mr. Bagel

Every time I open my sketchbook, I feel like I’m meeting that little dog again. It’s not based on a real dog, but a reflection of my own emotions and everyday moments. It drinks coffee, watches the snow, and drifts into daydreams.
My comic series is monochrome, with lines and blocks of shade quietly telling the story of this dog’s inner journey through ordinary life. This work is a visual record of cherished moments and a quiet response to my emotional state. Its non-linear, fragment-based narrative is my way of responding to the pace of city life and the need for mental stillness.
